Abstract:
The present invention relates to a nanoparticle-based nitroaromatic explosive sensor for detecting nitroaromatic compounds, more specifically to stably detecting explosives in an aqueous solution by introducing, on the surface of the nanoparticles, a molecule which improves the dispersion force of the nanoparticles in an aqueous solution while binding strongly therewith, and which can simultaneously bind with the nitroaromatic compounds.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a sensor capable of detecting an aromatic nitro compound explosive, and a preparation method thereof, and more specifically, to a nanosensor system, and a detection method using the same, wherein a quantum dot-based sensor for detecting an aromatic nitro compound explosive can conveniently detect an aromatic nitro compound explosive with high sensitivity on the basis of a change in energy transfer between quantum dots. The method for detecting an explosive of the present invention makes an explosive come in contact with a quantum dot thin film to which an explosive can combine, and measures a change in fluorescence wavelength, thereby sensing an explosive. According to the present invention, the method for detecting an explosive on the basis of quantum dots uses a change in fluorescence wavelength which is unlike a known detection method using the change in quantum dot fluorescence intensity, and thus is not sensitive to a change in surroundings, can carry out rapid detection, and can detect even a low concentration of explosives with high sensitivity. Therefore, the present invention is expected to be extensively commercialized.
